brightest and purest judicial ornaments.
9 That as n soldier in defence OF the cause
and the land we love- he was distinguished
for his chiyalrous bearing OH the battle held,
and as O citizen, universally esteemed TOR his
suotless integrity, uniform courtesy and gen
erous hospitality not only extending to the
poor and needy his fullest sympathy, but ever
ready to contribute far beyond his means
from his open purse every subsfahtlai reiiel
that was in his power to grant.
& Asa Judge so high was his sense OF JUS
tice, that he spared neither time nor labor In
scrutinizing diligently every case brought oe-
! fore him. in order that he might never wrong
any one by an error OF the head, being lncapa-
| BILE of doing them any injustice otherwise.
! d. That he was noted for his uniform conr.
| tesy to the Bar, making friends of all that had
! the pleasure of practicing before his Court, his
| rulings being so free from partiahty anu SO
! replete with legal lore, that even those VINO
were cast thereby were ever ready 10 ac-
| knowledge, without murmur. that tney
we're the result of a conscientious investiga-
ton as well as of legal sequence. :.
5. That his devotion to his family, embodied
all that Christian husband aud father eonid
hestow. and that in his death, they have ex-
perienced an irreparable loss, and that we
hereby tender to them our warmest and heart
felt sympathy in this, their sad hour OF be-
reavement.
g. That copy of these resolutions be pup, pun
lshed in the Lake Charles papers and that
